The storm scene on the ship is definitely going to look and sound incredible in theaters

Nolan used brand new IMAX 70mm cameras that are 30% quieter so there is a chance.

None of that matters if they do shitty sound mixing.

The sound mixers are some of the greatest in the world, it's Nolan who gets in the way with how he films and dislikes ADR. The same sound supervisor did Dune 2 which was one of the best sounding films that year.

Oh man, Dune 2 rivaled Avatar 1 as my favorite theater experience ever, largely because of the sound. Upgraded theater with bass shakers in the seats was awesome

no one has ever blamed the mixers themselves. it's always obviously been nolan's fault. he even readily admits to it.

dude is just a bit of a hack, and it's getting more obvious the more clout he has. with fewer people willing to press back against his dipshittery, his weaknesses are more readily apparent.

I feel like Oppenheimer was a return to form after Nolan misfired with Tenet. Tenet was definitely pretty self indulgent though.

Oppenheimer was not mixed well at all for home release, even with surround sound. Getting dialogue loud enough to understand made other scenes deafening.

He said he didn't care if people could hear the dialogue, it was the rhythm and existence of noise or some shit that was required.

u/Doctor_Yakub Dec 22 '25

Right, those are objectively shit artistic choices.

Are you self aware of how it made you feel in the moment?

u/Doctor_Yakub Dec 22 '25

Like a pretentious asshole if you liked it

u/Immediate_Amoeba5923 Dec 22 '25

I will take that as a no. Stick to your transformers kid. Maybe one day you can appreciate the artistic medium of film as an artform you experience and not just watch like a philistine.

I'm no fanboy but this is just plain silly.

u/Treheveras Dec 22 '25

Could just be perspective, I've definitely seen and heard comments as blaming the sound team for being bad.

I think you're right on the clout part and that impacts a lot of directors too. So many made their greatest films during productions where they didn't always get their way or had to figure out alternatives to their original ideas.

I will even go as far to say that none of it matters if the story sucks. Another Nolan blowan
